Chapter Two - Hogwarts Express
Tom was still in a mood with Celeste, he had been ever since he realised that she knew all of this and left him in the dark about it like some ignorant fool.
Celeste was in a mood with Tom because he was in a mood with her and she wasn't going to chase him around like a pathetic damsel in distress cause he couldn't take a joke.

Celeste sat in a compartment in the Hogwarts express by herself, Tom had refused to sit with her so she was going to enjoy the peace and quiet that was rarely found in the orphanage.
She was enjoying the peace and quiet until 4 girls walked into the compartment and all of them simultaneously looked celeste up and down with scrutinising gazes, she obviously gave them even dirtier looks right back.
For some strange reason the girls grinned at her after she just glared at them and then proceeded to walk into the compartment and sit down. One of the girls, with blonde curls, was grinning ear to ear.
“Finally we found someone with a backbone, every other compartment we walked into people looked terrified of us. Not that it wasn't extremely funny but were not sitting in a compartment with some future Hufflepuffs” the blonde girl exclaimed and Celeste liked her immediately
“I'm pretty sure you're going to be a Hufflepuff Anabel” Said the girl sitting beside her, she had straight black hair and pale green eyes.
The blonde girl, Anabel rolled her eyes at that then turned to face Celeste and held out a pale had and said “i'm Anabel Greengrass”
“Celeste LeClaire” Celeste replied, shaking her hand.
“You're a pureblood right? Mother will kill me if she finds me talking to a mudblood” The girl besides Anabel said she had brown curly hair that was tied up in a ponytail and dark brown eyes, framed by thick lashes.
Celeste snorted knowing that if her Mother was alive she would have done the same “yes i'm a pureblood my family if from France so that's why you probably don't recognize the name”
“Thank god, im Druella Black” she held out a hand and Celeste shook it
“Im Sierra Lestrange” Said the girl who teased Anabel about being a hufflepuff
Celeste looked at the other blonde who was sitting next to sierra, she hadn't said anything she smirked at her, “im Celina Rosier” she said “my family is from France too” Celeste was expecting a handshake but Celina lifted her hand and inspected her pale pink painted nails.

Tom had no other choice but to go to a compartment that was already occupied by other first years considering he let Celeste get the last empty one
He walked in to find 5 boys conversing in hushed tones that suddenly stopped as Tom stepped into the compartment.
“I'm sitting here” he announced before sitting in a seat next to a blonde boy who was currently reading a book called, a simple guide to basic transfiguration by Antonio Fawley
“Come right in, why don't you” quipped a dark haired boy sitting by the window and twirling a wand between his fingers.
Tom narrowed his eyes at the boy prepared to practise some of the spells he’d read about during the weeks leading up to his arrival at hogwarts but the brunette boy sitting next to the insufferable one asked for his name before he could draw his wand
“My names Tom Riddle” he said and the blonde next to him narrowed his eyes
“You're not a mudblood are you?” the blonde said through clenched teeth and although Tom didn't know what a mudblood was he guessed that wasn't a very well regarded thing to be here.
“No of course im not” he glared at them as if he had greatly offended him by asking such a thing
The annoying blonde boy continued with his insufferable questioning “pureblood or half blood then?” he challenged and Tom never backed down from a challenge
He didn't know what either of those were but pureblood definitely sounded better than half blood so that's what he said and the blonde boy only replied with “good, im Abraxas Malfoy”
Then all of the other boys introduced themselves.
The rude black haired boy was called Linus Flint, The brunette boy with the shaved head was called Jacks Avery, the black haired boy sitting next to Abraxas on the other side introduced himself as Orion Black and the boy sitting next to Avery was Leo Yaxley.
